Spatiotemporal dynamics of pacing in models of anatomical reentry [PDF]

arXiv, 2001
Reentry around non-conducting ventricular scar tissue, which often causes lethal arrhythmias, is typically treated by rapid stimulation from an implantable defibrillator. However, the mechanisms of termination (success and failure) are poorly understood.

Optimal allocation of defibrillator drones in mountainous regions [PDF]

, 2019
Responding to emergencies in Alpine terrain is quite challenging as air ambulances and mountain rescue services are often confronted with logistics challenges and adverse weather conditions that extend the response times required to provide life-saving support.

Subcutaneous Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator Implantation Without Defibrillation Testing

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2017
Defibrillation testing (DT) does not improve shock efficacy or reduce the risk for arrhythmic death in patients undergoing routine transvenous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) placement and is no longer compulsory for left pectoral transvenous ICDs [(1)][1]. The subcutaneous ICD (S-ICD)

Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator use in elderly patients receiving cardiac resynchronization: A meta-analysis

Hellenic Journal of Cardiology, 2019
Background: Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) reduce sudden cardiac death and all-cause mortality in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).

Erosion of an Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2012
![Figure][1] A 51-year-old man with previous myocardial infarction received a single-chamber implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) in 2002 for syncope and inducible ventricular tachycardia at electrophysiologic testing.

Patient Alerting Features in Implantable Defibrillators

Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2008
Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) are state of the art devices for the primary and secondary prevention of sudden cardiac death.1 As a result, the use of ICDs has increased remarkably over the past years.

Synthesizing Stealthy Reprogramming Attacks on Cardiac Devices [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
An Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) is a medical device used for the detection of potentially fatal cardiac arrhythmia and their treatment through the delivery of electrical shocks intended to restore normal heart rhythm. An ICD reprogramming attack seeks to alter the device's parameters to induce unnecessary shocks and, even more egregious,
